The gypsy setting is a setting which seems like the sticking or smearing of diamonds on a metal surface. Though it might sound unattractive, the result is quite impressive, making viewers wonder what, in fact, keeps the diamonds attached to the metal. There's no need to worry, though. The strength of the setting usually has nothing to do with how it appears to our naked, unexperienced, eyes. There's something very modern about the gypsy setting. The fact that it doesn't comprise of any infrastructure and has a minimalistic look makes many new designers appreciate its beauty.

How, in fact, is the gypsy setting produced? No glue is involved afterall. The goldsmith puts pressure on the metal, creating a small "crater" in the metal surface and then after a diamond is in set, pressure is put it sides as it is fixated by the surrounding metal. Though it doesn't sound easy, the gypsy setting is considered quite simple, and is implemented in very large scales in the jewelry industry. Unlike the bead setting which usually deals with very small stones, the gypsy setting can be also used to attach diamonds of 0.5 carat, or even more, to a metal surface.

The are some ideal conditions for executing the gypsy setting. The metal alloy should be rather soft. Although the overall softness of the metal is also important, the stress here is on the alloy, since, for example, it easier to execute the gypsy setting inyellow gold  jewelry than in white gold. In addition the thickness of the metal shouldn't be too low

In the 'Gypsy Setting' many small diamonds are embedded in the metal band. The result is generally not a fancy looking ring, as the stones don't shine outstandingly, though it is still a nice looking diamond ring.

The band in the gypsy setting is continuous and gets wider at the top. The top of the diamond ring is shaped like a dome and the diamond is set into the center of the ring. This ring setting has a smooth look to it since there are no prongs attached to the diamond's girdle.
